5. THE ENTITLEMENT CONTAINED IN. PARA VI OF SECTION 111 OF THE DRAFT CMU WILL NEED TO PROVIDE FOR 7 X L1011 OR EQUIVALENT CAPACITY. CPA WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE 7 X L1011 SERVICES ON THIS ROUTE BY 1 JANUARY 1980 AND DO NOT WISH TO BE RESTRICTED TO A PARTICULAR AIRCRAFT TYPE.

6. WE NOTE THAT THE MALAYSIANS HAVE RAISED SOME NEW POINTS

(KUALA LUMPUR TELNO 299 TO FCO). CPA WOULD ALSO LIKE TO RAISE TWO NEW POINTS :

383

A. THE INCLUSION OF COLOMBO AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO PERTH AS A POINT BEYOND ON UK ROUTE 2:

AND

B. THE INCLUSION OF JAKARTA AS A POINT BEYOND ON UK ROUTE 3 SO THAT CPA CAN HAVE THE OPTION OF OPERATING TO JAKARTA EITHER ON UK ROUTE 2 OR ROUTE 3 BUT NOT BOTH.

IN VIEW OF THESE NEW POINTS, PLUS THE FACT THAT THE PRESENT ARRANGEMENTS ON SUBSIDIARY MATTERS (SUCH AS MALPRACTICE AND PLANNING LOAD FACTORS) NEED TO BE TIDIED UP, WE SEE MERIT IN A FURTHER MEETING OF OFFICIALS AND AIRLINE REPRESENTATIVES. STABLES'

PRESENCE IN THE FAR EAST IN MID-SEPTEMBER WOULD PROVIDE THE OPPORTNITY, IF YOU AGREE.
